POSTGAME QUOTES

BYU vs. Wyoming

BYU Head Coach Dave Rose

“Our preparation was really good the last two days. Our focus was good and we executed really well tonight.”

“Wyoming is a penetrating team, but we attacked early and that helped us to get into position and hold our lead really well.”

“I was proud of our consistent effort defensively.”

“Jimmer was really good at the start of the game and managed that consistent effort the duration of the game. He made some big shots at the end of the game for our team.”

Wyoming Head Coach Heath Schroyer

“They came out hitting on all cylinders and played well. They are notorious for that and are a very good team.”

“We tried to take it possession by possession and I thought we clipped them at the half. We came out of the half strong, but they went on another of their notorious runs.”

“Jimmer Fredette is very good and I knew that from watching film on him, but tonight I saw it first hand. He’s big, strong, can shoot the three and is strong on the dribble. He is very good.”
